Metro: Redux trailer

The current gen overhaul of the Metro series is coming this summer, and here's the trailer for Metro: Redux, along with details...

4A Games' Metro titles are great first person shooters based upon the best-selling novel, METRO 2033, by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Taking place in a post apocalyptic Russia, they tell the story of mankind's survival after a nuclear holocaust, with the remaining population living in the metro system, and underground labyrinth surrounding it.

The world is now a desolate place, covered in radiation and inhabited my mutant creatures, and below the streets, those that survive live in small settlements upset by warring factions and the difficulties of living in a subterranean world.

The games are FPS titles that utilise survival horror, stealth and all-out action mechanics. The first game was flawed, but enjoyable, and the second was a definite gem many may have missed.

Now the series is set to return, this time to current gen and in a remastered form. The Metro: Redux release will combine both Metro: 2033 and Metro: Last Light into a single package, and both will benefit for a graphical overhaul to make use of current gen tech. Metro: 2033, however, has received more than a mere graphical polish, and has been rebuilt from the ground up to make use of Last Light's game engine. It'll feature combat and stealth mechanics not seen in the original, along with improved AI and other enhancements.

Metro: Redux will be available in the summer for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, both digitally and in boxed, retail form. The downloadable versions will also be available separately.
